    Hi, seem to be having an issue, all of the copies of the content file give the same message, not sure how to fix!

    Self-test...
    Loading state from C:/Data/Snapraid/snapraid.content...
    Error decoding 'C:/Data/Snapraid/snapraid.content' at offset 1502333000
    The CRC of the file is correct!
    Internal inconsistency: Missing previous checksum!

    Did you have a rehash in progress? (Meaning that you had started a snapraid rehash)

    I'll investigate further to find the possible cause. In general, such internal inconsistencies are caused by memory malfunctions that result in corrupted data being written to the content file. It might be worth running a memtest as well.

    Regardless, I don't think it's recoverable. It would be better to start from scratch by deleting the content file and running a new sync.

    Nope, I wasn't touching it!

    I'll give memtest a run but fair, I figured that might be the case

    Does look like I've got some silent memory issues, I've rebuilt the parity anyway, thanks for confirming!

      The newly released version 14.8 will now detect this condition when saving the
      content file, preventing it from becoming impossible to load. It makes sense to upgrade to this version.
